Inviting Bonus Room Retro colors and creative storage make this bonus room an inviting guest room, too. Design on a Dime : Episode DOD-1503 -- More Projects »
 After: Retro Redo
The Solution
With an intense splash of color and some inventive storage solutions, the room is transformed into a fun space for music, sewing and more. Since it is such a small room but serves several purposes, interior designer Kristan Cunningham must maximize the use of space. She and design coordinators Spencer Anderson and Dave Sheinkopf paint the walls in warm retro colors: burnt orange, pea-soup green and mustard yellow. A horizontal band painted around the walls makes the small space feel larger and draws the eye upward. An updated desk and sewing area with lots of storage to conceal the clutter and a modified Murphy bed that doubles as Eric's keyboard stand round out the retro redo.The Cost Bed and bedding – $160
